Recommend a backpack for me

[MTLabrador]

This is my first fall with an Exo and I love mine so far. I have the K4 3600. I mostly hunt elk as long day trips from a base camp, and when I do backpack in it’s almost always archery season with warmer weather and a pretty minimal camp. Love it so far, and it carries weight (day hunt gear and sandbags for training hikes) a lot better than my previous Mystery Ranch. It’s pretty sleek when it’s all cinched down for hunting the timber.

I liked the Badlands 2200 for comfort and quiet material. However, it did not handle heavy loads well. My wife has a Valkyrie and it works great for her.

I've liked my Metcalf alright. It hauls a load well and can fit a lot in it. I wish it were quieter. When I look again I will seriously consider a exo.

I like some things about eberlestock. It seems like they are a bit heavier though. I know they offer discounts through RMEF if you do go that route.

Military and LEO discounts too.

I have the Exo K4 with both the 5000 and 2200 bags. The 2200 is my day hunt bag, lots of room especially with a couple hip belt pouches and water bottle holder.
